A RECORD IN PAINTINGS Da Li Won Again Creates Sky-High Selling Price Tribune U.S.A. VOL.III No.49 Dec1-7, 2000
The Explanation of the Buddha’s Title – “H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III”
On April 3, 2008, a solemn and dignified
first-publishing ceremony of a fact-recording book entitled H.H. Dorje
Chang Buddha III, which published jointly by the World Buddhism
Publishing LLC and the World Dharma Voice, Inc., was held at the
Library of the Congress of the United States. The book was also formally
accepted into the collection of the Library of the Congress of the
United States. Only since that time, did people in the world know that
Master Wan Ko Yee, who had been broadly respected by the great masses
and who had also been known as Great Dharma King Yangwo Yeshe Norbu, had
been recognized by the world’s leaders, regent dharma kings, and great
rinpoches of Buddhism through official documents as the third
incarnation of Dorje Chang Buddha, who is the primordial Sambhogakaya
Buddha of the universe. The Buddha’s name is H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha
III. Since then, people began to address His Holiness the Buddha by
“Namo Dorje Chang Buddha III.” This is similar to the situation that
Sakyamuni Buddha’s name was Prince Siddhartha Gotama before attaining
Buddhahood. However, after Sakyamuni Buddha had attained Buddhahood, His
title changed to “Namo Sakyamuni Buddha.” That is why we now address
His Holiness the Buddha as “H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III.”
In particular, on December 12, 2012, the Senate
Resolution No. 614 of the United States Congress officially used “His
Holiness” in the name addressing Dorje Chang Buddha III (That is to say,
“H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III.”) Since then, the title and status of
H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III has been definitive by nature. And, as a
matter of fact, “Dorje Chang Buddha III” is a name used legally in
governmental and official legislative documents. Therefore, the
previously used respected name and titles such as “Wan Ko Yee,” Great
Master, and Great Dharma King no longer exist.
However, the news below was published before the
Buddha’s title of H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III was publicly announced. At
that time, people did not know about the true status of His Holiness
the Buddha. Therefore, to respect the true history, we still kept the
names used before the title of H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III was
legitimately determined in republishing this news. However, all must
clearly know that the only legitimate name of His Holiness the Buddha is
H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III and all other names used before the
legitimate determination no longer exist.
[1] “Namo” is a Buddhist term originated from the
transliteration of the Sanskrit term “namas” which has the meaning of
respect and has been widely used as a prefix for expressing supreme
respect when addressing a highest holy being such as a Buddha. It is
equivalent to the prefix of “H.H.” used by other religions in western
languages (e.g., addressing the Pope of Catholics).
It has been noted by people that Master Wan Ko
Yee, the world famous master of Buddhism and art, set the world record
in Chinese art history of the highest selling price of paintings by a
painter who is still alive. His painting, “Venerable Da Li Won", again
broke his own world record when it was sold at NT$72,000,000.00
(US$2,207,912.00) by Mr. Naylor, an art collector and art merchant from
England. Once the selling price was confirmed at the auction, people on
the spot clapped their hands continuously for quite a white.
The year of 2000, the beginning of a new
country, people were more impressed by the special honors which Master
Wan Ko Yee received. On March 8th this year both government of State of
California and government of City of San Francisco separately proclaimed
March 8th, 2000 as Master Wan Ko Yee Day based on his amazing
achievements in various fields.
In addition, he received honoray doctorate
degree and professorship from ninety-two universities in the United
States and other countries all over the world. It was the first and
highest honor in history among Chinese worldwide.
On May 12th the same year in Taipei, at the
meeting organized by United International World Buddhism Association
Headquarters, 2137 eminent monks and nuns and the great virtuous ones
from 416 Buddhist organizations, associations, and temples worldwide
unanimously conferred Master Wan Kao Yee as the true Buddhist Master
with perfect mastery in both Esoteric and Exoteric Buddhism.

water in the boundless ocean of Buddha Dharma of Master Yee. Since he
is a great Dharma King Master with perfect mastery in Esoteric and
Exoteric Buddhism and Five Brightness, the Art which is one of the Five
Brightness, has made Master Wan Ko Yee reach the unprecedented height in
